THE LABOR PROBLEM
CHILD LABOR CONDITIONS' ARE
GRAPHICALLY SHOWN
PROFESSOR EAVES LECTURES
Factory" Children Submitted to Moat
Deplorable Conditions Plea Is
Made for Conservation of
Vitality
Those who failed to hear Professor
i. nolle Eaves give her. illustrated lec
ture on "Child Labor In the United
States," last Tuesday at convocation,
missed an exceedingly Interesting and
instructive half hour.
Miss Eavea brought the child labor
problem home to her listeners by
showing pictures of some very un
satisfactory child labor conditions
which may be seen not more than
three blocks from t our University
campus. One of ' these pictures
showed some of the unsanitary con
ditions of the newsboys and the de
plorable environments in which these
boys are placed. These pictures de
scribed more graphically than any
words could the need for advance
legislation on this subject
One of the striking points brought
out by the lecturer was that there are
over 3,000,000 chiid laborers in the
United States who are employed in
the work of the cotton mills, the
mines, the glass factories, canneries
and other similar work. These chil
dren spend on the average 3.368 hours
of the year in the factory, while the
total number of daylight hours for
that period is but 3,728. When we
take into consideration the fact that
the school children Bpend but 1,000
hours per year in the school, we may
partially realize what this means to
the young workers, and also realize
the danger of allowing such an insti
tution as modern child labor to exist.
Miss Eaves closed her talk by a
Dlea for the conservation of national
vitality by providing for better school
and playground facilities for Young
America. This question is especially
nertinent at the present time in Ne
braska. the state legislature being in
session, and spending part of its time
in investigating Ms phase of the
labor problem.

STUDENTS AIDED DY
THE LOAN FUND
Twenty-five Students Take Advantage
of Fund Three Hundred Dol
lars Has Now Been Paid
One hundred dollars has been re
ceived by the committee in charge of
the Student Loan Fund as the third
installment in the donation of Mrs.
A. E. Carter of New York City. Mrs.
Carter's donation of $500.00. to be paid
in five yearly installments, is in mem
ory of her husband, a graduate of the
engineering college of the University.
Three installments have already been
paid.
Together with the interest from the
other donations of the other founders
of the fund, this donation from Mrs.
Carter brings the total amount avail
able for student loans up to $300.00.
Nearly twenty-five students are tak
ing advantage of this opportunity to
borrow money, and last semester a
large number of applications were
turned away, since the funds were ex
hausted. Professor G. R. Chatburn, chairman
of the committee in charge of the
fund, says that applications will now
be considered, and is of the opinion
that before long the money will again
be out in use.
The loan fund, although founded for
the benefit of the engineers, is now
open to students in any college of the
University.

TEAM WORKING HARD
GARDNER HAS TAKEN MYER'S
PLACE AT FORWARD
DOPE FAVORS THE COYOTES
The Ministers Are a Veteran Aggre
gation Only One New Man In
Lineup Shields at Cen
ter for Nebraska
The Husker quintet of basket
piercers upon whom .rests the fierce
hopes for revenge of the entire Uni
versity is straining every nerve to
overcome the setback caused by the
loss of Myers. Gardner, a new man
who has been ineligible until this se
mester, is playing a good game at for
ward, and his fellow townsman.
Shields, is playing at center. Team
work has been badly shattered by the
shifting around of the men, but prac
tice has been fierce and fast. The
forwards are developing almost dead
ly accuracy at piercing the basket,
while Rutherford and Hawkins are
playing the floor with their old time
dash and effectiveness.
Madame Dope, that elusive indi
vidual who feeds upon the imagina
tion of metropolitan sport scribes, and
lives on the revenue she receives for
false lips tipped, gives the Parsons an
advantage over our Huskers in the
coming battle. Last year Wesleyan
defeated our otherwise invincible
Cornhuskers two out of three. Our
team this year is not up to the stand
ard of last year's crew, while Wes
leyan has what may well be called a
veteran aggregation. Members of
the Wesleyan team have been playing
together since they were old enough
to attend Sunday school. From the
Sunday school league they graduated
into the University Place High School
team, and from there into the Wes
leyan varsity. Four of last year s
team are at it again this year. One
new man, Hughes by name, has joined
the class, and it is gathered from
dope which is stamped with the ap
proval of the Holy City school that
he is just as much at home as if he
were one of the old guard.
Whatever the result may be in next
Friday's contest between our Huskers
and Coach Kline's "point a minute"
aggregation, the populace is sure to
see a game that will not be coon for
gotten. And although we are com
pelled to bow In submission to the
latest decree of dope, still there lurks
somewhere in the heart of every Corn
husker the fierce hope that the Husk
ers will send the dope bucket a-splash-ing
and get sweet vengeance for the
disaster of a year ago.
